it's from running rich on the AF ratio (too much fuel running through) and the heat and gas meeting the o2 out of the exhaust tip makes it combust, maing a flame.

There's also a trick some hot-rodders use, they mount a spark plug either in the tip or just outside it, so they can press a button to ignite the exhaust fumes. (seen on Pimp My Ride)
 
Probably similar to this:

A stock Ferrari F430 will make these blue flames on full throttle up shifts.

NO NOS, NO gas injector, factory (Modena) engine mapping means timing is race car aggressive on full throttle. Aggressive timing equals more gas sent out the exhaust whenever throttle is lifted (automatically happens during shifting) and results in the blue flame (similar to the internal combustion of the engine!).

Haha i've seen that once live when i was racing a F430 with my Audi S4. Was great fun and the F430 driver had fun as well....got a thumbs up..!!

Jup running rich and less dampers and no cats.

But i seen a gadget somewhere once wich you can buy wich makes flames. I think you have to do a search in the Hot Rod world.

Good luck...!!
 
A buddy of mine with a Gallardo was making flames in broad daylight when we were playing cat and mouse. I've been told my car does it at night coming off throttle too but I haven't seen it.

All that being said, why the heck would you want an SUV to do that?
 
Beat catalysts and put HKS exhaust and you will have a small flame.
Importantly do not put Flame arrester. Or instead of HKS put Borla
 
Haha thanks man! But not really what I had in mind.. 20ft of flames is crazy lol I just like the look when your on the highway and evertime you down shift or shift a small light comes out of the exhaust just like lambo video but not that hard core eather lol I dont want to burn up my luxury fx I want it as clean a possible.:ninja:

Haha see it like this, you would always have your personal BBQ with you :laugh:
But i get what you mean and like that very much as well......
 
he just wants a little backfire, not a flame thrower. it's easy, just tune your A/F so its way off so you have too much fuel running through so the vapors catch fire....
